This book, the first in the National Bureau's new series of Studies in International Economic Relations, is presented as "an exploratory essay on problems arising out of recent changes in our international trade and payments position.'' Among the problems considered is the problem of improving processes of adjustment in international trade and payments. The study finds that these processes are limited in number and in the certainty of their effects. This makes it all the more important to understand and use such means of adjustment as are available, if stability of the dollar is to be retained as a prime object of policy. The study also examines the problem of reconciling domestic and foreign economic objectives, given the constraint on monetary policy at a time when private capital has become highly mobile. Condition: Very good / Good.
